The Rockwood—Stage 3 is
at 185 Orchard Street, in New York City.
This is a 21 and over
show.
Her first live performance
since pre-pandemic, Zimmer looks forward to debuting a set of almost entirely
new songs which were written over the past year and a half. Are any of us the
same now as we were in February 2020? Kathy Zimmer felt as though she was
evolving during this time, and had to create music that reflected that. Add to
that the fact that her band moved from the city as a result of the pandemic,
and she is challenged and excited to find a new performance format with which
to present her songs.
Kathy Zimmer has released
several recorded collections of her music, most recently a vinyl record in 2019
combining two EPs, White Noise and Sparkling Smile,
and a separate single, a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” (all of which are
available on all streaming platforms). A resident of New York City, Kathy
Zimmer is a native of rural Nebraska. Her original love of acoustic
guitars and tight vocal harmonies was the product of being raised in a large
musical family. In school, Zimmer studied classical music, her education
culminating in a master's degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music.
Zimmer's roots and musical explorations have led her to create music she terms
"cosmopolitan folk"--music that is sophisticated, sincere, smart and
accessible with a variety of identifiable influences including country music,
1960s girl groups and classic pop singer-songwriters. However,
ultimately, Kathy Zimmer strives to make something new.
Rock n’
Reel Magazine has declared her the “latter day Joan Baez.” The
Roots Music Report proclaims, “At various turns enchanting,
haunting and soothing—and at times a bit of all of these—Ms. Zimmer’s
sophisticated song crafting never fails to charm.”
